In a recent post to his blog Jeremy Cook has a tutorial about using the Countable interface (part of the SPL) in your objects to make them play nicely with functions like count.

Adam Gotterer has written up a tutorial with his process behind creating an object collection manager with PHP's built-in SPL functionality.

DevX: "This article shows you how to use the most important iterator classes: ArrayIterator, DirectoryIterator, FilterIterator, and so forth, found in the Standard PHP Library (SPL), and how to integrate SPL with PHP Data Objects (PDO)."

Brandon Savage has a new post to his blog today looking at autoloading in your application and how the functionality the Standard PHP Library (SPL) provides can make life simpler.

DevShed finishes off their "loader" series of tutorials today with this eighth part focusing on the use of Directory Iterators.

In the next to last article of their loader series, DevShed looks at replacing some of the file loading functionality in their examples with functions from the SPL.

The PHPClasses.org blog has posted a new book review of the APress book "Pro PHP: Patterns, Frameworks, Testing and More" (Kevin McArthur).
